Die ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (kurz „CHI“) fand nach mehreren online-only Durchgängen in diesem Jahr hybrid statt. Die CHI-Konferenz gilt als die größte Konferenz im Bereich der Mensch-Computer-Interaktion und die Uni Würzburg war mit drei Fachbereichen vertreten: PIIS, HCI und PsyErgo stellten Vorträge online und vor Ort vor. Nina Döllinger stellte ihre Arbeit zur Körperwahrnehmung in virtuellen Avataren vor.

Out of more than 2,300 applications, Erik Wolf from the HCI and PIIS Group was selected as one of 37 outstanding PhD students to be funded within the 2022 Meta PhD Research Fellowship program. This prestigious achievement was granted to only six participants from outside the US and once again puts the Würzburg AR/VR research into the neighbourship of elite research facilities like Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Cornell, Carnegie Mellon, or ETH. Congratulations to Erik Wolf for this outstanding achievement!
